The Exact Moment In His Dark Materials I Understood Why Dafne Keen Was Cast As Lyra

His Dark Materials saw a critically acclaimed three-season run — one of the best examples of the value of rebooting a failed fantasy literature adaptation — led by Danfe Keen in the role of Lyra Silvertongue, alongside other perfect casting choices. His Dark Materials follows Lyra and Will Parry (Amir Wilson), first separately in their different worlds, then after they meet, as they both have a role to play in a brewing religious conflict. The show also stars Ruth Wilson as Mrs. Coulter, James McAvoy as Lord Asriel, Ruta Gedmintas as Serafina Pekkala, and Lin-Manuel Miranda as Lee Scoresby.
